Ideas for a new NC30 paintjob

Post by richhemmings »

Guys and Girls,

My current fairing is fast becoming a bit of a shambles, and while I may repair it or sell it in the future I just want to get it replaced at the moment.

As matty has been away and busy with other things I've looked at getting some new bodywork :poke:

BB Plastics have given me a good price for the basics plastics, and offer a 1 or 2 tone paint job for about £60 extra.
But I want something a bit different... and OEM paint job is out of the question at the mo, as it'll cost a bomb, so I had concidered white with imperial jap flag running from front tyre up fairing.
Now I dunno... Was thinking maybe something a little more saleable - maybe a red block paint with white race panel on the tail and a white Honda wings decal?
Or white block paint and red details?

What does anyone think?

Oh and if you are after some '91 RWB panels to repair... give me a shout as I may have some available soon..! (there are some on eBay at the mo to!)

Any recomendations/suggested paintshops or decal providers?

BikeDecals seem really good: http://www.bikedecals.co.uk/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; - any previous experience anyone?


Cheers!

:grin:

looks cool. I have my nc24 done in red atm. I was thinking of something similar but without the big wing. IE. white decals with smaller vfr on the fairing. no number panel though.

Any thoughts, comments?
i was gonna continue the white from the tank, but I think i prefer a bigger wing?
will have a forceV4 on the side too I expect, and a 400gb tag each side - between raceplate and seat i expect...
